Dimensions for V12V springs?

Hi,

Since there is not any off the shelf options I am looking for the dimensions so I can have some custom ones made.

Does anyone know the following?

Length
Spring rate
Internal diameter

Many thanks!

Thanks Stuart.

Do you sell through anyone else in the UK? If you have something that your close to being ready on then great.

I don't want to send my springs away. I think Im going to go down the custom route if I cannot find anything. I will take my springs off and have the rates tested here, then order something a bit shorter than mine with custom spring rates.

Cheers

Lee

If you like your current spring rates but just want to lower the car, shoot me a PM. I have a good alternative for you.

This sounds familiar! Wow... I have just lived the same scenario with my V8VS. I did H&Rs to find out they are not properly matched to the S springs... Contacted Ground Control, velocity AP, Nitron USA & UK, Motion Control Suspension, AMR The Racers Group, David Appleby, etc. To find everyone very willing to help but no one had knowledge of the simple question of what are the spring rates for my car... I finally decided on a full Nitron Kit from Stuart. Hopefully these deliver the ride and level of performance I desire when they arrive.

I do agree that there are some creative ideas on lowering with stock springs and shocks here. Ground Control was willing to custom make me a kit for that with threaded adjusters as well. Nitron UK was the most responsive, knowledgeable and helpful but still had no knowledge of my stock starting point.

Best of luck in your quest! Let me know if I can help!
